I may thoroughly dislike EU4, but I've literally never experienced what's being described the last couple pages. And I'm the first one to moan about this game's bugs. If I'm carpet occupying there's never been 'magic' AI reinforcements that I didn't know exactly where they came from.

I find that highly doubtable, considering anonymous-linked hackers would've already found that information already if it were just.. talked about, between executives.

Put that way, that is a valid point. In a sense, it's more like a "Not cool, America. Not cool at all." being expressed towards us, and willful cancellation is our apology.

They cancelled it because of attack threats, not to save face. Even though there is a 0% chance of any NK national/terror group attacking the US, since it has never happened and they don't have the capability since the 80's to project any type of force.

So what happens if AQ-x or ISIS doesn't like the next movie being produced, the groups with actual ability to conduct these things? Do we shut it all down permanently and let terror groups vet our media? Pretty neat stuff being displayed by Hollywood.

Voluntary cancellations are probably an improvement!

Yeah, being dictated to by another country's dictator about what is and isn't permissible freedom of expression [guaranteed by our own constitution in fact] is a pretty big improvement over the status quo


Much better world to live in now that Sony has capitulated their right to expression in exchange for... not getting attacked by an imaginary group. The precedent has been set, you don't even need to be a credible and real terror group to shut down hollywood. God help us if, I don't know, ISIS threatens to bomb the next movie showing. Why not shut that down, it's a real terror group threatening it. If a made up threat by a blowhard government with no ability to conduct anything can shut down a movie like this, then I guess we may as well hand over the entire publishing department to terrorists so they can vet our choices of media before we have to deal with these cancellations.

Let the selective censorship justification attempts continue! I will still buy this to support freedom of art. :]

Yes, it'll still be above 60, and has opened a new trading corridor to the 80's.

Looks like the bottom is starting to fall out again mid speech. Right as soon as the Ukraine questions began. 63 when I started typing this, now 64.

Yes, even dead cats bounce. I wouldn't be very happy about that support at 60.

Again though, it was New York that was going to be the premiere (today, actually), not Hollywood. You guys can take your own risks with North Korea. I tend to think Japan-based Sony feels the same way.

I remember that time North Korea nuked the USA over that other extremely racist and insulting movie that directly kills their leader.


Relevant.

We stand by our filmmakers and their right to free expression and are extremely disappointed by this outcome.

Sure you do Sony, sure you do.
